to at least five dead and more than 8,000 in evacuation shelters. On March 30, 17F left Fiji, and began moving south-southeastward. Within the next day, Tropical Depression 17F turned to the southwest, and later accelerated towards the southeast again, before dissipating late on March 31. Tropical Cyclone Daphne On March 31, RSMC Nadi reported that Tropical Depression 19F had developed about 410 km (255 mi), to the south of Honiara on the Solomon Island of Guadalcanal. This low gradually strengthened and on April 2, it strengthened into a tropical cyclone and RSMC Nadi named it Daphne. Daphne moved southeastwards rapidly and moved into TCWC Wellington's area of responsibility late on April 2. The system was reclassified as extratropical by MetService during April 3, before they issued their last gale warning on Daphne remnants during April 6. Because of the 2012 Tropical cyclone conference the JTWC did not warn on this system and were operating their continuation of operations plan. As a result, the United States Military's Fleet Weather Center in Norfolk, Virginia, designated the system as Tropical Cyclone 18P and issued warnings using data from the FMS and MetService. Power to the main island of Viti Levu and Nadi International Airport had been cut as thousands of stranded tourists scrambled to leave for home. Despite not affecting Fiji directly squally outer rain bands associated with the system, caused strong winds, torrential rain and flooding over Fiji's western division. As a result, five lives were lost while three people were listed as missing while thousands of tourists were stranded as a result. Other systems The following weak tropical disturbances and depressions were also monitored by RSMC Nadi, however all of these systems were either short lived or did not develop significantly. Early on February 14, Tropical Depression 13F developed within an area of low vertical windshear about to the northwest of Nouméa, New Caledonia. During that day the depression moved towards the east-southeast, before during the next day it slowly moved towards the west-southwest. The final advisory on Tropical Depression 13F was then issued on February 17, as the depression was moving into the Australian region and was not expected to develop into a tropical cyclone. Tropical Disturbance 15F developed in an area of moderate to high vertical windshear during March 19, about to the northwest of Nouméa, New Caledonia. During that day, the system moved towards the southeast before
